Natural elegance with BOEN Oak Brown Jasper

When Adventurous Renovation travels to beautiful Setesdal, it’s the surrounding nature, tranquility, and sweeping views that frame the transformation. Nestled among towering pines and overlooking a quiet lake lies the cabin that, this time, receives a modern yet rustic upgrade.

BOEN is proud to be the flooring partner of Adventurous Renovation for the second season in a row. In this episode, the tone is set by the Oak Brown Jasper Castle Plank in brushed finish with Live Natural oil.

A meeting of nature and design

The Setesdal cabin reflects its surroundings—encircled by forest and mountains, where nature’s calm seems to flow in through the windows. Interior designer Halvor Bakke and his team aim to preserve this serenity while introducing a modern expression defined by warm materials and earthy tones.
The dark-stained ceiling and the rich brown shades of Oak Brown Jasper create a harmonious atmosphere. Paired with new, expansive windows that invite in generous daylight and frame the scenery outside, the interior gains a sense of openness and warmth that encourages long weekends with family and friends.

Light, texture, and material presence

A key design move in this project is how the floor takes center stage in the play between light and texture. The large windows allow daylight to move across the planks, highlighting the beautiful grain and the tactile brushed surface.
The result is a living floor that shifts character throughout the day — warm and golden in the morning light, deeper and more atmospheric as the sun sets. The wide Castle Plank format adds a solid, exclusive feel, perfect for the spacious living area.

A cabin made for togetherness

Halvor has a unique ability to create spaces that feel both modern and timeless, and in the Setesdal cabin, the layout is designed for shared meals, laughter, and long conversations. The custom-built dining table is complemented by natural-toned textiles and details in black and wood. The warm brown tones of the floor are echoed in the furniture, ceiling, and interior finishes, creating a cohesive and grounded expression — elegant, yet genuine and authentic.

Oak Brown Jasper – understated luxury with a natural touch

Oak Brown Jasper features a deep, muted brown tone that adds character to the room without overpowering it. The brushed surface emphasizes the wood’s natural texture, while the Live Natural oil protects the surface and preserves the authentic look and feel of real wood. This is a floor built for real living — durable, welcoming, and designed to age gracefully. The kind of floor that suits cabin life perfectly — fires crackling in the hearth, boots in the hallway, and laughter gathered around the table.
